THE STAND Lyrics by XMMX

2020

I can’t breathe I need a pump
Police brutality, systemic racism instituted at the hands of Trump
How much longer do we fight this war?
Its been 60 plus years, we don’t need no fucking more
If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for everything
But what’s it count when the people can’t speak out for anything
It’s been too long, there’s been too much bloodshed
But that don’t matter if we’re all dead

Some things I will never understand
Like how it feels to live in fear cause of the colour of my hand
Lord forgive us for our sins
We talk of equality like it’s a flip of a switch
But the poorer get poorеr and the richer get rich (Amеn)
Recognition of the past, education for the future
Our skin is not a weapon
Our own ruler’s the abuser

It’s been too much pain, too much suffering, too much blame
And this ain’t just the states, this put the world to shame
After all these years, we forgot about the aim
Death ain’t no reason for a child’s claim to fame
Together we must come, and together we shall rise
Scrolling through the gram, just to see a mother cry
Systemic flaws, broke laws, so the people must speak out
When they marching through the streets, that’s the only way out

The beginning of the end, the future in our hands
That really makes you think, “for what do I stand?”
